CHEMets Nitrite Visual Method

CHEMets Nitrite Visual Method

Nitrite, an intermediate in the nitrogen cycle, is formed during the decomposition of organic matter, but readily oxidises to form nitrate. These processes occur in wastewater treatment plants, water distribution systems, and natural waters. Nitrites are useful as corrosion inhibitors, preservatives, pigments, and in manufacturing many organic preservative chemicals. A Maximum Contaminant Level of 1 mg/L has been established by the USEPA for nitrite-nitrogen in drinking water.

Kits include 30 ampoules, comparator(s), accessory solution(s) (when necessary), a sample cup, and instructions. Refill packs of 30 ampoules and accessory solutions are available separately.

Material Safety Data Sheets are provided in test kits.

CHEMets ampoules are designed for maximum simplicity and accuracy. Each glass ampoule is 7 mm in diameter, 100 mm in length, with a tapered, pre-scored tip; reagents are vacuum-sealed inside.

Azo Dye Formation Method
Test kits containing CHEMets, VACUettes, or Vacu-vials ampoules are based on a colorimetric chemistry in which nitrite reacts to form a pink azo dye. The intensity of the color is directly proportional to the concentration of nitrite in the sample. Nitrate will not interfere. Results are expressed as ppm (mg/L) NO2-N.
